Bone Marrow Transplant

A bone marrow transplant involves replacing your body's unhealthy blood-making system with healthy stem cells. These healthy cells, often from a donor, are given to you through a vein, usually after your own bone marrow has been prepared with strong chemotherapy or radiation. The goal is for these new cells to grow and produce healthy blood cells for your body. This process also helps to target and manage any remaining unhealthy cells. This topic will offer clear information to help you understand what a bone marrow transplant involves and how it affects your treatment and daily life.
